By cons (yes!) ... The battery !!! ... Well like most high-end camcorder, the battery life is ridiculous given the price of the camcorder.
When I go on vacation, I took my cam in the morning and returns in the evening. It holds only half of the day. So as I've done in all my other camcorders, obliged to hire a battery with 2 times more autonomy but more than 100 !!!
Too bad for this trade strategy once again.
But hey, that's the price to pay for great films and great memories.
Total bill ... Almost 1000 .. Panasonic, the battery and the SD card.
Without regret, away from ... I recommend!
